Written By Ellen DeLong

Miles Hiked: 11.0 miles (mm 194.8-205.8)

Elevation: 2,217 ft ascent | 1,734 ft descent

     ■ Up down, up down, and then up to Guitar Lake. All day long.
     ■ I left camp at around 7:30 and headed uphill for Bighorn Plateau.
     ■ Storm coming in as I stopped for water at Whitney Creek
     ■ Able to stay ahead
     ■ Red sky
     ■ Set up camp with a few raindrops, beautiful spot
     ■ Tessa and Jeff about 30 minutes later
     ■ Nice spots around neck of guitar, smoke in valley
     ■ Beautiful sunset
     ■ Back and forth on a sunrise hike
     ■ Woke up at 3AM and it was windy and occasional rain
     ■ Decided to leave at sunrise
